Web Developer

Web developers design and create websites and web apps. They are responsible for the technical aspects of the project from the basic design layout to advanced interactive features. Web Developers can also create and organize a website’s content. The Certificate in Web Development is a hands-on program providing instruction in the more technical principles, practices, tools, and mechanics of building websites. Production and software skills are developed through the coding of professional-quality websites. Other skills covered include UX/UI design, search engine optimization, HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, JavaScript, databases, portfolio production, and industry internships. Student Learning outcomes After completing this Web Developer Certificate students will be able to: 1. Effectively communicate ideas on a web page using visual contrast, proportion, and harmony. 2. Use visual composition to balance the form and function of web page components. 3. Design and code websites using HTML and CSS and modern CSS frameworks. 4. Set up and run web servers on a local computer. 5. Code responsive web pages that look good and work well on all devices. 6. Create interactive web page elements using the latest JavaScript libraries.

We expect 15 - 30 students to take Web Developer courses per year with 4 - 6 students earning Web Developer Certificates.
